Maeve and cousin Leo go with Jamie to County Kildare where his grandfather is buying horses. Their hostess introduces them to David and his mother who have come to Ireland to trace their roots. However, David, who is from Australia, is part aborigine -- can he have Irish roots? The three friends decide to help in his search and get involved in local research, dinner parties, racist threats, and ghost-spotting.
